Skip Calls For United Front
Posted on: Sat 15 Dec 2007

Patrick Kisnorbo has called on the club's fans to stick by the players despite their miserable form on the field.

Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Hull City was their fourth in five Championship matches, leaving the Foxes sitting precariously above the relegation zone ahead of next weekend's televised trip to Midlands rivals Wolves.

However, despite their disappointing form, the Australian international believes him and his team-mates need the Blue Army more than ever.

He said: "Yes, our form has been very disappointing of late and I can totally understand the fans' frustrations.

"I know they are going through a hard time and know they are disappointed but we are certainly disappointed with them.

"The players don't mean to play badly but for whatever reason at the moment things are just not going our way.

"The supporters have always backed us and I hope they will continue to do that because we need them more than ever.

"They should continue to have faith in us and we promise to do our best for them and drag ourselves out of this relegation battle."

Kisnorbo also admitted that a few home truths had been told in the aftermath of the Tigers defeat.

"We were given a bit of a reality check today and Ollie let every individual know what he thought of them after the final whistle," he added.

"Honest is the best policy at this stage of the season and sometimes when players don't play well they need to know that.

"This is such a big club and there is so much expectation on us as players but Ollie needed to tell people their strengths and weaknesses because this sort of form cannot continue. It is no good for anyone.

"We have some good individuals in this squad but football is a team game and if you can't get it right as a team then you are struggling.

"There is a real lack of confidence around the place at the moment and it's a hard time for everyone but over the next few games we must show that we want to be here and want to play for Ollie and Leicester City.

"We must stand up and be counted."

The Foxes travel to Wolves next Saturday evening (5.20pm) and Kisnorbo acknowledges that another loss is not an option.

"We are in a relegation battle and we know that. We are looking over our shoulders and the sooner we put things right the better.

"We must unite and show what we are made of. We have to put on a better display because today's was not acceptable."

He didn't mean it like that. Basically they are as dissapointed as we are.

Sorry - but you have slightly misunderstood.

Our great Aussie international was trying to say that the team shares the fans disappointment.

Back in the real world he and his mates must be amazed that so many supporters made that treck to Hull....given the prospects of another dire experience.

Are you really suggesting that the players do not care?
I agree that Leicester City is not in their blood in the same way as it is with the fans but, those players are playing for their livelihood. They know that Holloway is looking to bring in new players. They know that they could easily end up as reserves for a third tier team.
They may not be very good, but are you really saying that they are not trying their best?

They have all played better in the past, ergo they have either 'lost it', are carrying injuries or else are not performing to the best of their abilities for some reason which may or may not include 'not trying'.

I never said they didn't care.
But I really don't think they care as much as we do. After all, as you have already said, Leicester City isn't in their blood is it?

And I'm sorry, but I've seen most of those players play better than they are right now(which doesn't say a lot considering how cack we've been over the past four years!)

IF things get worse they can all move on and get paid for playing football by someone else, whilst we will have to suffer the consequences of them 'trying their best'.

Course they don't, they've all got lucrative contracts that pay them thousands of pounds every week regardless of if they play good, bad or indifferent. This is the crux of the problem, they just aren't motivated. I bet Carl Court is a millionaire and a few of the other aren't far off. Unless they are on the telly, playing against a premiership side or one of their mates is in the opposition, they simply don't give a flying toss. I can't think of one 'run of the mill' game in the last few seasons when anyone in the team looked proud to be wearing the shirt.

The players are simply a bunch of mercenary journeymen, they are not Leicester City, we are.

Indeed I would imagine theres a good few of them who couldn't give a toss if they are in the team or not as long as they pick up their wages at the end of the week
